    ah.... Well, wishing you luck either way. :thumbsup:
    I'd consider buying just to make them PnP for someone else. But it's not another project I need.

    Great job man. The only part I was dreading was the headliner removal, but you just made this mod a lot easier. Thanks man.

    Anybody want to send me the factory harness/connector they cut off when they did this mod?
    I’ll PayPal F&F for shipping...
    Just send me a PM (so as not to clutter thread).

    Got mine installed. I will be ordering a 3/8 NMO at a future date. I also did not wire up the white LEDs yet either, as I don’t have time to pull the headliner and run wires this weekend/too lazy to go through pulling all the interior panels to do it right. So I’ll just tackle it all at one time later. Anyway, pics:

    Installed a new DIY gasket (EPDM rubber)
    B769645B-1C29-466A-A287-EE4FAAFC148E.jpg

    KC connections crimped and added to male connector:

    AA1E8B23-B5AA-4A64-AEFC-B703C15340B0.jpg

    New female OEM connector after cutting off old:
    5DAF30DF-A5D0-4CEB-9B1C-39BEB88D40C9.jpg
    59400A1D-3196-4603-A13A-AD5C84B2BF9E.jpg

    19E926DB-A098-4ACD-9B35-1F969D612BBA.jpg

    I couldn’t find plain 3/4” hole caps at local Ace hardware so I went with 3/4” diameter snapping bolt caps which I think look really good and clean.

    Will also be getting some anodized aluminum M3 bolts for the KC’s.

    Personal feedback on the install:
    The KC lights don’t have much in regards to wire length, and soldering in a new length of wire is in my eyes adding another potential failure point, and same goes for their included connectors, so I just worked with what I had. This meant it took a little bit of tugging either way to move the white end KC’s to get to the OEM mounting screws with a screwdriver when it came time to mount to the truck.

    These can also be found at HomeDepot and Lowes in the “Specialty” drawers section as well (If your store has the drawers, as the trend is to remove them).
